Bones

Hands shake quiet and cold
So defiant yet so bold
Never mind what we do
The walls wreaked rattled and thin
What do you feel beneath your skin?

This body full of skeleton bones
Heavy and sinking like a stone
What is it dragging us down
Among memories that we find
Send shivers that are so unkind

Never can we be unfound
Seeing how tightly we are bound
Try to free ourselves from shame
In tears of pain and joyful lust
Before the lustre turns to rust

Stoic Poetry
